My journey as a scholar is deeply intertwined with my experiences as a Black British scholar of English and Ghanaian heritage raised in social housing in southeast London. Growing up, I witnessed firsthand how racial and class disparities shaped access to education and literacy, as my class contained the mixture of wealth and poverty typical of my area. The defining feature of my upbringing was the struggle to learn how to read and write and to do so in a school that was predominantly formed of white, middle-class nuclear families. It was this struggle, impacted by my Dyslexia and Dyspraxia, that would form the critical conjuncture from which everything else would follow. Although I would receive specialist intervention and begin to formulate my own way of reading and writing through technology, this was an incredibly traumatising experience that shaped my academic journey, pedigree, and commitments. It began a style of scholarly inquiry defined by a refusal of illiteracy. These early struggles instilled in me a deep commitment to challenging the structures that marginalise, racialise, and exclude under the guise of literacy.
